It was incredibly fun to sit down with Justin Beahm from Reverend Entertainment today to talk about my score for Popatopolis, the 2009 documentary by writer/director Clay Westervelt!
The interview was for the film’s Blu-Ray release, coming later this year. Popatopolis has amassed a cult following since its premiere, and now, nearly 15 years later, it reflects an industry on the brink of transformation.
Its subject, director Jim Wynorski, has achieved legendary status: having directed over 150 films, many of them shot in three days or less (!), he pioneered ultra-fast, ultra low-budget filmmaking. I’m looking forward to this release, and to watching the documentary again!

The wait is almost over! The Amazing Race Season 35 premieres Wednesday, September 27th at 9:30/8:30c on CBS and Paramount Plus.

Congratulations to the entire team at The Amazing Race for five Emmy nominations!
This year’s crop brings the show’s total to 92 nominations and 15 wins. Which is pretty… you know. Amazing.
I’ve never been more excited to be part of the show!
CUE OF THE MOMENT
In honor of the release of The UFO Movie THEY Don’t Want You to See—which is a science-based investigation of what we really do know about UFO/UAPs and the like—I’m making the wrap-up cue my Cue of the Moment. This score was composed in the middle of a big, busy time in my professional and personal life, and I’m absolutely delighted (and a little surprised) that I like it so much now that I’m hearing it again.
The UFO Movie THEY Don’t Want You to See is now available for streaming on YouTube, and will soon be coming to nearly every streaming platform. Visit theufo.movie to see what services have been added. —LHS
